New York Jets news, rumors and injuries

Updating a previous story, New York Jets WR Devin Smith (ribs) has a partially punctured lung to go along with broken ribs.

Fantasy Tip: It is unclear how this will affect Smith's original four-to-six week timeline, but it does not look good as it stands. Owners should be staying away from Smith until more is known about a possible date for a return to the field.

Fantasy Tip: Smith was ruled out for four-to-six weeks, and his fantasy value should be adjusted as such. Season-long owners can still consider him as a late-round option in deeper leagues, but he won't carry much value in standard leagues.

New York Jets WR Devin Smith (ribs) will be sidelined for four to six weeks because of his broken ribs, and his status for Week 1 is uncertain at this point.

Fantasy Tip: Smith's fantasy value will take a bit of a hit since he will not be able to participate in a majority of training camp and probably will preseason games too. Smith could still be a late-round option in deeper leagues since he has a chance to have a role in the passing game.

New York Jets WR Devin Smith (ribs) will miss a majority of training camp after suffering broken ribs Friday, July 31, according to the team. He will be held at a hospital overnight for observation.

Fantasy Tip: The injury is going to make it hard for Smith to stake his claim to a larger role in the offense, at least early in the season. That being said, he still possesses elite speed and should emerge as the main deep threat for the passing attack. He is worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues.

New York Jets WR Devin Smith (head, neck) left practice early Friday, July 31, after suffering a possible head or neck injury.

Fantasy Tip: Owners should look for an update on Smith in the next day or two to have a better idea of his injury. Smith could have a solid role in the passing game this season if he performs well during preseason and could be an option in the late rounds of drafts.

Updating a previous report, New York Jets DE Sheldon Richardson was charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest and traffic violations following a July 14 incident in which he allegedly raced his car 143 mph. Richardson is accused of having a loaded handgun in the vehicle, and authorities claim to have smelled burned marijuana. Per police reports, Richardson fled but was found hiding in a residential driveway with a 12-year-old child inside the automobile. Richardson will serve a four-game suspension to open the 2015 NFL season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Fantasy Tip: It's unclear when Ridley will be available to practice, or if he'll even be ready for the start of the regular season. Chris Ivory was still expected to be the starter in the Jets' backfield. It's best to wait until later rounds to draft Ridley.
